Vintage German Wooden Articulated Toy, Folk Figure

This joyful wooden folk toy, hand-painted in traditional dress, is a playful nod to classic German craftsmanship. Likely made mid-century, she wears a vivid red and blue dirndl with a green Tyrolean-style hat and yellow clogs. When you pull the red string, her legs swing outward in a delightfully jaunty dance, a simple mechanism that brings nostalgic movement to life.

Found in a tucked-away antiques corner in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, she carries the character of a well-loved object: a little scuff here, a faded detail there, traces of time that only make her more endearing.

Hang her in a kitchen nook, children’s corner, or anywhere that could use a touch of charm and heritage.
